BS.......your suburban couldnt' be good for more than 12 lengths...it's only a 97. 9 yr old autos are slow no matter what...it's a fact.

Saying that is like saying putting AFR heads on an LS1 is a bolt on because you bolt them on. I don't know about highly modified but it is more than a bolt-on in my book when you swap out the eaton. JMO

To the original poster, I say good kill. I agree with those on here and you that 10+ easy cars is a bit much, especially if he got the jump on you. We all know that with that much power on tap it does not take long to build a good lead. Sounds like you have a good set-up though, and more than capable of putting a few cars on a C6 Z06.

I didn't say this was my set in stone definition, but it's very easy to do and only requires lifting the blower off the top of the motor. It's more like putting a FAST Intake on an LS1 (although the lower intake doesn't even need to come out of a Cobra to swap out the blower). It's only 3-4 hour job, but I hear where you're coming from.

I've seen guys on this site (not yourself) try and convince me a cam on an LS1/LS2 is a bolt-on.

BTW...Heres something you might like. My wife raced a C6Z in our C5Z and pulled it pretty good, granted it was an old man and I know for a fact he started in the wrong gear but the point is ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

Yeah look at me, I own a Z06 and the first week I drove it I stalled the damn thing AT LEAST twice every time I took it out.

Now I only stall it like once every time I take it out.

New drivers, especially youngs one probably don't know how to drive the new Z06 at all, either that or they own a Z06 bodykit'ed C6 and still don't know how to drive.

Simple answer:

Cause the original GT500's had snakes. The original shelby mustangs were NOT cobra's either, but they had the 'snakes' on them, because 'COBRA" was shelby's 'call-sign' (for lack of better term).

Closest I've seen is this...it's a reg '02 C5 though, not a Z06: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....65&postcount=6
He's about 500HP w/ P1 on stk motor I think...no h/c or anything, just P1.

I am outta my mind.

That said....a 520rwhp vette will trap 130mph. a 560rwhp one will trap at 135ish.

Whats your point?

I am well aware of what a 600rwhp cobra does against a 500 rwhp vette. Which is stay at it's door until about 4th gear. Then....the mustang goes bye bye. Always.

Speaking from experience.

Griffin,...a friend with a 611rwhp would get FUCKED up by the LSX vette crew on a regular basis.

It's just the way it is man. You can **** with the AERO effect of these cars. Simple as that.

Dig is a DIg...

There are too many variable when racing like this. traction....etc etc.

I do BOTH style of racing. A roll race is a HORSEPOWER RACE. The only thing that matters is power, and aero.

Awesome....one of the 10% that knows what he's talking about due to first hand experience.

Street racing.

I know there are loads of other factors that could come into play, but c'mon...idk what to say I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...



Nah dog.

Let me ask you a question....what do you drive?

What expereince do YOU have racing cars? Not cars in general....these cars.

Cobra versues vette?

I have raced ALOT of these cars man. I know ALL of the rwhp numbers of the cobra's that I have raced. They have ****ALL***** out powered me from 60rwhp to 150 more.

Still waiting for one to take it to me. Too bad for them....I plan on being the one to outpower the other car in the months to come.



I'm a benchracer? lol.

My fav. video is still the old 1g dsm beating the new z06 though, wish I had saved that video to my hard drive, but I'll save this one, this was def. a good one thanks for the video.

Glad you had an awakening.

Like I said, a 510 rwhp Z06 would give a 620 rwhp Cobra a GREAT race, and if the Cobra wins, it will be by a car at most. jmo



Perfect example.

Ha ha bitches.


Still think i'm on crack? Ignorance is bliss.
